[SET COMMENTS]
Frosmoth is a great setup sweeper and offensive presence in the metagame thanks to its strong Special Attack, decent coverage, and access to Quiver Dance. Giga Drain threatens Water-types like Poliwrath, Clawitzer, and Jellicent, doing significant damage after a single boost. Substitute allows Frosmoth to set up on passive Pokemon that relies on status it to wear it down like Clefairy, Uxie, and Pyukumuku. Substitute also makes Frosmoth an excellent stallbreaker. Hurricane is an alternative to 2HKO Fire-types such as Centiskorch and Rapidash when unboosted and OHKO the former at +1. However, without Substitute, Frosmoth has significantly less opportunities to set up and is easier to revenge kill.

Frosmoth fits on balance and bulky offense teams that want a setup sweeper and soft check to special attackers such as Rotom. Switch-ins to Fire-types are great partners; Pokemon like Qwilfish and Thick Fat Appletun can switch into Centiskorch and Rapidash, respectively. Fighting-types like Gurdurr and Poliwrath can switch into Rock- and Steel-types like Rhydon and Ferroseed, while Frosmoth in return can set up on foes like Uxie and Tangela that switch into them. Secondary sweepers like Iron Defense Cofagrigus and Swords Dance Silvally-Ground can pressure foes and weaken them for Frosmoth to sweep late-game; they also pressure Frosmoth's checks such as Choice Scarf Sawk and Galarian Stunfisk. Pokemon like Garbodor and Qwilfish can absorb and scout for Knock Off users while setting entry hazards for Frosmoth to sweep.

Other Options
=============

Bug Buzz can be used as a secondary STAB move to better damage foes like Uxie, but it is usually not needed; Frosmoth's other coverage moves are better, and having both STAB attacks is less effective due to overlapping resistances. Weather Ball is a good option on weather teams, giving Frosmoth coverage it usually doesn't have access to.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Fire-types**: Fire-types like Centiskorch and Rapidash are the best offensive answer against Frosmoth, easily OHKOing it due to its 4x weakness. Frosmoth will also have to watch out for Pokemon with Fire-type coverage such as Fire Blast Skuntank and Mystical Fire Alcremie.

**Steel-types**: Steel-types like Ferroseed, Klinklang, and Galarian Stunfisk can take on most of Frosmoth's attacks and threaten it back with their Steel-type moves or Rock Slide.

**Knock Off**: Removing Frosmoth's Heavy-Duty Boots will heavily hinder its ability to sweep, as it will be susceptible to all type of entry hazards, especially Stealth Rock. Passive Pokemon like Clefairy and Tangela may bait in Frosmoth and remove its item.

**Revenge Killers**: Frosmoth mediocre Speed and lackluster physical bulk make it easy to revenge kill, even at +1, by Choice Scarf users such as Sawk and Cinccino; the latter is also able to revenge kill Frosmoth behind a Substitute. Priority users like Kangaskhan, Shiftry, and Aqua Jet Basculin are able to revenge kill Frosmoth with minimal chip damage, although none of them can switch into Frosmoth's attacks with ease.

Frosmoth is a great set-up sweeper and offensive presence in the metagame thanks to its strong Special Attack, item in Heavy-Duty boots to save it from Stealth Rock, decent coverage and access to Quiver Dance to help with its mediocre speed while boosting its other stats gives Frosmoth its sweeping potential and game-cleaner. (Fluff) Ice Beam being its main STAB hitting hard to super effective and neutral foes even unboosted, Giga Drain would cover for Water-types like Poliwrath, Clawitzer, or Jellicent, doing several damage after a single boost. Substitute allows Frosmoth to set-up on passive Pokemon that relies on status it to wear it down like Clefairy, Palossand, Uxie, or Pyukumuku, being a fantastic breaker to common stall cores. This also makes Frosmoth an excellent stallbreaker. Hurricane is an alternative to hit 2HKOFire-types such as Centiskorch and Rapidash for a 2HKO and also hitting other Fire-types for good damage like Magmortar and Rapidash on the switch. But without Substitute, Frosmoth has significantly less setup opportunities and is easier to revenge kill. Ice Scales doubling its Special Defense allows it to set-up on specially offensive Pokemon like Rotom with ease as it won't take too much damage from neutral attacks. (Fluff)

Frosmoth fits on balance and bulky offensive teams that wants a setup sweeper and late-game cleaner soft check to special attackers such as Vanilluxe. Fire-type switch-ins for obvious reasons, are great partners. Pokemon like Qwilfish or Thick Fat Appletun can switch into Centiskorch and Magmortar Rapidash respectively. Fighting types like Gurdurr or Poliwrath, can switch into Rock- and Steel-type Pokemon like Lycanroc or Ferroseed, while Frosmoth in return can set-up in foes like Uxie or Tangela that switch into them. A secondary wincon like Iron Defense Cofagrigus or Silvally-Dragon Swords Dance Silvally-Ground, can pressure foes and weaken them for Frosmoth to sweep lately in the late-game, the latter in particular can switch on Fire-types and force Steel-types to come in, making Frosmoth's job easier and pressure Frosmoth's checks such as Audino and Galarian Stunfisk. Pokemon like Garbodor or Qwilfish, can absorb and scout for Knock off users while setting hazards for Frosmoth to sweep.

Other Options
=============

Bug Buzz can be used as a secondary STAB move, hitting harder Pokemon like Uxie. But it's usually not needed as its coverage moves helps it better, also Ice-resistant Pokemon overlap with Bug-type ones making having both STABs less effective. Weather ball is a good option on dedicated weather teams, giving a nice coverage move that Frosmoth don't have access to in any other way. Rock- and Water-type Weather ball will hit Fire-types, as Fire-type Weather ball will handle Steel-types, respectively.

Your info here is solid. It can be written more clearly but since that isn't really a QC thing I can leave it for an am check.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Fire-types**: The common Fire-types like Centiskorch, Magmortar and Rapidash are the best offensive answer against Frosmoth, hitting it for an easy OHKO due to its x4 weakness. For that matter, Frosmoth will have to watch out for Pokemon with Fire-type coverage such as Drampa or Silvally-Dragon Fire Blast Skuntank and Mystical Fire Alcremie as well.

**Knock off**: Knocking off Frosmoth Heavy-Duty boots will heavily hinder its ability to sweep as it will be susceptible to all type of hazards, mainly Stealth Rock. Passive Pokemon like Clefairy or Tangela may bait Frosmoth to come in revoming its item.

**Choice Scarf users**: Frosmoth mediocre speed and lackluster physical bulk makes it easy to revenge kill even at +1 speed boost by Choice Scarf users such as Sawk or Cinccino.

**Steel-types**: Steel-types like Ferroseed, Klinklang or Perrserker will take on most of Frosmoth attacks and threaten back with their Steel-type moves.

**Status**: Frosmoth is a lot more manageable when hitting by a status move mainly Toxic or Thunder-Wave, shorten Frosmoth sweeping capabilites. While this is true, I think Substitute helps Frosmoth avoid status moves enough to the point where they are not as threatening to it as these other checks and counters.

**Priority users**: Priority users like Kangaskhan, Shiftry or Aqua Jet Basculin are able to revenge kill Frosmoth with minimal chip, while Lycanroc will always OHKO with Accelerock.

QC 2/2! Had little to add content-wise, and mostly just was fixing up the format and little GP stuff. Good work!

Some of the GP changes were simple typos so try and do a second look over your with your work before going into QC. It'll make the official GP process a lot quicker. Here's some AM GP tips to keep in mind when implementing and future analysis writing: When you have lists of examples meant to convey the same attribute, like say for Water-types, use "and" instead of "or." Only use "or" as a conjunction when the attributes in the list don't apply to each other; "Steel-type moves or Rock Slide" works in the above as Ferroseed and Klinklang don't use Rock Slide while Galarian Stunfisk doesn't use Steel-type attacks. Include the serial comma in lists for three or more.
